Let’s talk about the process. 

One of the hardest things to talk about as Christians is finding God’s providence in our daily process. This process is the way to eternal life in Heaven, but as you probably already know, it’s anything from easy to walk it. Day-to-day we’re faced with temptation, and are constantly longing for something amazing to happen to us that will make this process all the easier.

Today, Fr. Mark-Mary explains how to find God’s providence in our faith journey.
